A fixed layout is one where the content stays the same size, no matter the size of the viewing device or window. An example of a fixed layout might be a page layout of a newspaper. The content remains the same size, no matter what device it is accessed from. It is like a book with a set number of pages, each page is the same size, and the content remains in the same place on each page.
Fixed layout can also be seen in web design. An example for this type of layout would be a website design that is static and does not adjust when viewed on different devices. The content remains the same, no matter how it is viewed.
Fixed layouts also help users know where elements are, as all content is in the same place in each window. This type of design is most frequently used for reports, articles, and presentations that are to be read, as the content remains the same, allowing readers to view it more easily.
